I like to utilize all resources I have to better myself. There's no sense in half-arsing something. I don't have to go all in to the point of burnout -- but I can use my resources as needed. I've cut back my hours at work (but I haven't quit!) and I think taking some of that extra time in therapy is a good idea.
I am happy for you that you are taking this step and realizing you want help before you reach an absolute burnout state. Way to go!
